The wait is finally over. Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is at hand.

As usual, there are great matchups for the prime-time games, with the two top-rated fantasy quarterbacks going head-to-head on Sunday night as Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills host Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.
Another intriguing story line is how big an impact new head coach Ben Johnson will have on the Chicago Bears … and how much his absence will affect the Detroit Lions offense.
